The Long Goodbye ended last year, when my mom passed of Alzheimer's, at age 92. For 6 years, I was consumed with taking charge of her medical care, finding a quality care facility, navigating VA, SS, Medical, Medicare and Wells Fargo, the strain on family relationships, dreading getting the call from the ER in the middle of the night, fighting for whatever she needed, ALWAYS , because she no longer could.

My hope is that soon, we can treat ALZ with drug therapies and that ALzheimer's is no longer a death sentence.
